Intraoperative Cell Salvage in Infants Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Trial
The purpose of this prospective non-randomised study was to determine the impact of intraoperative cell salvage on postoperative allogeneic blood products transfusion in infant patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Effectiveness of Preoperative Autologous Plateletpheresis Combined With Intraoperative Autotransfusion on the Blood Coagulation in Orthopaedic Patients
To investigate the effectiveness of preoperative plateletpheresis combined with intraoperative autotransfusion on the blood coagulation of orthopaedic patients.
Reduced Transfusion Requirements With a Closed Cardiopulmonary Bypass System
The aim of this investigation is to reduce blood transfusion in cardiac surgery patients with preoperative conditions predictive for transfusion requirements.
Establishing An Association Between A Peri-Operative Perfusion Score System (PerfSCORE) and Post-Operative Patient Morbidity/Mortality During CPB Cardiac Surgery
The purpose was to create a new method for evaluating the quality of care the perfusionist provides during CPB procedures and to deduce whether it predicts patient morbidity and mortality.
Reduction of Hemodilution in Small Adults Undergoing Open Heart Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized Trial
Given that there is an association between the degree of hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and postoperative complications, patients-outcome might be improved if the nadir hematocrit concentration is kept within an optimal range.
Coagulation Monitoring: Current Techniques and Clinical Use of Viscoelastic Point-of-Care Coagulation Devices
Perioperative monitoring of blood coagulation is critical to better understand causes of hemorrhage, to guide hemostatic therapies, and to predict the risk of bleeding during the consecutive anesthetic or surgical procedures.
On-Line Autotransfusion Waste Calculator
There are risks and costs associated with replacing the platelets, proteins, and clotting factors wasted during cell washing compared with other techniques such as whole blood ultrafiltration.
Evaluation of Cell Salvage Autotransfusion Utility During Liver Transplantation
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the CS during OLT.
Blood Storage Impacts Survival Rate
A new study suggests that the amount of time donated blood is stored can substantially affect patients getting blood transfusions during heart surgery.
Blood Storage Impacts Survival Rate
A new study suggests that the amount of time donated blood is stored can substantially affect patients getting blood transfusions during heart surgery.
Bone Healing in Critical-Size Defects Treated With Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Histologic and Histometric Study in Rat Calvaria
The purpose of this study was to analyze histologically the influence of autologous platelet-rich plasma on bone healing in surgically created critical-size defects in rat calvaria.
